I posted that link and the sentence on that page: "After considerable research and discussion at mailing list level, the designation mini-roundabout has no place in Australian mapping." sums up the current position. So don't use mini-roundabout. This is a colabrative effort when it comes to marking up items, not just what each person feels like entering because they think that's correct it has to be consistent Australia wide not just in your little patch. That's why you need to read the full wiki and when the mailing list suggest you are doing something different to current practice then listen to the consensus and accepted practice of what people are doing. It's like the source tags, they need to be there so that others don't redo particularly ways that are tagged survey but know that we need to update ways that are tagged landsat, interpolated, etc. The only wiki that is acceptable definitions for openstreetmap is the openstreetmap wiki -- Cheers Ross _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
